Portrait demo, finished!

Here's the finished portrait. You can see that there are quite a few changes since step 4. For instance, I noticed that the figure and background were too similar in value so I darkened the background considerably to make the figure stand out more. Stephen's eyes are beautiful, so I spent a good deal of time adding extra detail to them. I kept the shirt and background very loose for contrast.
